Famous 1879-CC 'Capped Die' Dollar, MS64

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Actually a repunched mintmark variety, with the medium CC mintmark over a smaller one, though the die chipping around the date is far more noticeable. This near-Gem is impressively lustrous with extensive violet and gold-orange toning visible on the obverse, though the reverse has only faint echoes of the other side's patina. PCGS has graded a mere eight finer examples (3/09).(Registry values: P6, N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 7088, GSID# 7451)
